Aesthetic Improvement | General Contractors & Roofing in Charleston, SC 29401

In our Charleston climate, the most common cause is failed or improperly installed chimney flashing. The constant expansion and contraction from heat and humidity, combined with our heavy rains, can break the seal. We fix this by carefully removing the old flashing, inspecting the surrounding roof deck for water damage, and installing new, code-compliant flashing with premium sealants to create a lasting, watertight barrier.

It depends on the extent of the damage and your roof's overall condition. We start with a comprehensive roof inspection to assess the leak's source, the age of your shingles, and the integrity of the underlying deck. For isolated damage on a newer roof, a repair is often sufficient. However, for widespread wear, multiple leaks, or an older roof common in historic Charleston neighborhoods, a replacement or reroofing might be the more reliable, cost-effective long-term solution to prevent future issues.

Proper gutter installation is crucial here. Charleston's heavy rainfall can overwhelm undersized or clogged gutters, causing water to cascade down your siding, pool around your foundation, or back up under your roof edges—leading to rot and structural repair needs. We install and repair seamless gutter systems sized for our rainfall volume, ensuring water is channeled safely away from your home. This protects your roof's edge, foundation, and siding, complementing our roofing and structural repair services to safeguard your entire home.
